Comics By Request: People, Places In Need Of Funding

By Tom Spurgeon

* crowd-funders we've been tracking and/or that simply pop when we skim the listings on the site: The SEA-WOLF, the latest from Sequential Crush and the Dare2Draw mentoring project.

* the crowd-funder for Genevieve Elverum has pushed past the $170,000 mark. This is still short of the $250K asked for, but the original ask was much more modest and this feels like a good thing all-around given the grim necessities. The musician-cartoonist has sought help for her family in dealing with her cancer, diagnosed a few short months after she gave birth. I hope it provides some relief, and I'm grateful to be a member of one of the several artistic communities that has contributed to this cause.

* allow me the latest semi-regular reminder that this site's friend and occasional contributor Gil Roth has a patreon.

* congratulations to Drew Ford on meeting the initial goal set for his Joe R. Lansdale/Sam Glanzman project. It's tough to launch a creative venture that's dependent on crowd-funding (as opposed to letting a creative venture that follows from displayed skill in that area) so that's an impressive thing.

* finally, here's the latest round of crowd-funding for the Dirty Diamonds series.
